Kopanitsa is not Gankino

Kopanitsa (Popular around Sofia) and Gankino (popular in Northern Bulgaria) are completely different dances, both in 11/16 (2,2,3,2,2) but popular in different regions of Bulgaria. Another such dance is Krivo Horo (from Eastern Thrace), and other dances (most of them found in the Western part of the country). If the term Kopanitsa is used to generalize all the Bulgarian dances in 11/16, this should be mentioned in the article. Nonetheless, it would help if the article is backed up with materials from Bulgarian folklorists such as Djenev and Haralampiev. At the current state the article is misleading and inaccurate. 78.86.82.106 (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
